My deepest condolences. I just found out, and it saddens me I’m shocked. I was a neighbor and friend we went to elementary and middle school together,
We were the Kung Fu Brothers. I’ll never forget the good times we had. He had a heart of gold, always smiled, always made me feel good, comfortable. My condolences to Iolanda, Lello my heart and prayers go to you.
To Anna and Deana, our deepest condolences. Know that you will always have our love and support.
Chicco, words simply cannot express how much you will be missed.
Even as we sit here today, reminiscing about all the trips, golf rounds, the family adventures…we still can’t believe you are not with us. And can’t imagine a world where you aren’t in it.
You were family and a great friend. We were lucky to be able to raise our families together.
Chicco…our compare, best man, friend, godfather and uncle…you will forever be in our hearts. We love you always. And until we meet again, whether it’s on the green or the hills of Tuscany, may you Rest In Peace.
Joe, Lella, Christina and Alicia

We are so blessed to have these beautiful memories together. Love Anna and Deana
To Anna and Deana, my heart goes out to you both.
I remember booking a local gym in North York for Monday night ball hockey. Needing players, we each made a point of inviting someone new. I asked Gerry at “old river” and Frank invited his neighbour, Enrico. That was more than 30 years ago. This became the “glue” for many friendships to follow.
Soon, we formed a men’s softball team in Richmond Hill and Later an organized ball hockey team which Rico sponsored through Bell Mobility. We thought it was an interesting choice going with the Colours of Sweden and he cracked a smile. It was only later we learned it was the colours of his beloved Frozinone soccer team.
Sunday’s was reserved for Golf at Bloomington. Back then, they didn’t book tee times and you had to get there early. Many a time Rico would be there at 5:30 to get us that coveted 7:30 tee time.
The best however were those epic golf vacations to Florida and the corporate golf which always provided endless laughs.
We watched Italy both win and lose in soccer and the many “spaghettatas” and get-togethers.
30 years is a long time, and life changes. Even in my busiest times, I would find a message on my phone. “Hey brother love (nickname}, I’m calling to check in and see how’s the family and how are you doing? Please call me back I want to see if you are ok”. That was him, always available and with a kind word.
Rico, until we meet again, to answer your question, the family is good but I am sad.
Brother love,
Thank you so much Paul for this beautiful tribute to Chicco. Your story describes exactly how Chicco would talk about all the fun times he had with all of you.
He just laughed so much when he told the stories.
Thank you so much love Anna and Deana
My sincerest condolences to Anna, Deanna and extended family. He was a wonderful person.
Thank you so much Addie for your sweet note.
Chicco was so special as all of you were to him.

Your words about Enrico bring us so much comfort
Dear Anna, Deana and family,
Please accept my heartfelt and deepest condolences for the passing of Enrico. I know that employees at Samsung and Rogers will remember him well for his consideration and incredible kindness that he conveyed to each of us.
Both Enrico and I started work at Samsung on the same day and on the same account. Despite all the pressure that he felt in having to develop a new account, he never transferred this pressure to the staff working in the regions. Enrico took care of his team members like a family, maintaining a genuine and engaging complicity with each of us.
It is with great sadness that I learned of his passing. The 14 years that we worked together are among my fondest memories of working at Samsung. Please know that I will keep him and you in my thoughts for a very long time.
Best regards,
Thank you Pierre for your condolences and your story about Enrico. It’s so special and means a lot
Domenic and I send our deepest condolences to Anna, Deana and Family.
Chicco was an amazing man who impacted my life at every family gathering. He was always the life of the party, especially at Christmas. I’ll never forget him dressing up as Santa for us as kids, I still have the photos.
Rest In Peace to a truly amazing man. It won’t be the same without you. 😓
Thank you Luna for your beautiful condolences.
The memories Chicco has left with us will be treasured always
So very sorry. Out hearts are breaking for you.
You are both surrounded by extraordinary support, know that we are sending lots of love your way.
“Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow”

Thank you so much for your beautiful condolences. We are so lucky to have all of you in our lives
My heartfelt and deepest condolences Anna and Deanna. The love that Chicco brought to you both will never be forgotten. He was a caring and loving husband and father who did so much for his family. He has left with such great memories for everyone .He was taken way to soon.
Rest In Peace Chicco.
Thank you Lena so much for your beautiful condolences. We are so heartbroken but so lucky like you said to have so many beautiful memories that we will cherish forever
I had the privilege of hiring Enrico into Samsung Electronics Canada as Corporate Account Manager for Rogers. Always the consummate professional, he would maintain an easy-going demeanor under some of the most outrageous situations from either our company or the client. After retiring in 2007, I was pleased to follow Enrico’s advancement up to his retirement last year. My former colleagues and I are deeply saddened that he was taken from us far too soon with such a joy of living and so much left to do. My condolences to his family on their loss.
Thank you Bob for sharing your experiences about Enrico he spoke so highly of you.
Your heartfelt condolences mean so much thank you
My deepest condolences on the loss of your husband and father. To Anna , Deana and Family.
My deepest condolences to Anna ,Deana and family. For the loss of a wonderful husband and father. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. May he Rest In Peace.
Thank you Mary so much for your sweet condolences
Dear Anna and family
The passing of Enrico is truly heartbreaking. More than the many adventures shared during our Samsung days, he will always have an enduring impact on my life and that of many others, in the way he carried himself, in his loyalty to team and friends, and in his joy for life.
Thank you Ken for your beautiful condolences.
Enrico just had such endearing things to say about you all the time
Robin and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Anna and Deana and the entire family.
God Bless you and Rest in Peace
Thank you so much for your condolences.
I first met Enrico 17 years ago, when he was one of the people who interviewed me for my position at Samsung.
Over the years we had many chats about our daughters, who are the same age, and we kept each other up to date on milestones, as proud fathers do. I could always tell just how much he loved Deana.
Enrico always entertained me when we would discuss all things Italian, and we had some lengthy discussions about pretty much everything related to his homeland. He loved talking about Italy, and never failed to indulge me if I had a question, or relayed a personal story, about anything Italian.
Anytime I think of Enrico, I remember our Palm Springs golf trips with clients, and the related antics that came with those. I’ll miss teasing him about his obsession with the ferris wheel in Niagara Falls, one night, on a Samsung sales rally. And I’ll never forget hearing “Dennis. Coffee. Now.” every morning we’d meet in the lobby, on a business trip. Lots of great memories that I’ll never let go of.
My condolences to Anna and Deana. Know that any time he spoke of you it was with pride and with love. I’m glad to have known him.
Thank you Dennis so much for sharing your experiences with Enrico. You described him so perfectly.
Enrico always would tell us of how much he enjoyed the times he spent with you
Words cannot convey the sadness we all feel at Enrico’s passing.
I remember the challenges we faced together, the laughs we shared, but mostly the friendship.
My heart breaks for you Anna and Deana.
Thank you so much Daryl for your condolences.
Enrico always spoke of you with admiration
Sorry to hear about this terrible news and my deepest condolences to his family. I always enjoyed our conversations and banter at the office. He was truly a genuine person.
Thank you so much for your condolences and sharing your experiences with Enrico it is so appreciated
Enrico was such an amazing person. Everyone loved and respected him in this industry. He always looked out for James and me. Samsung was my very first corporate job and he made it amazing and fun. He was also an awesome boss to James. Enrico had the best desk at Samsung. It was secluded in the corner and I used to secretly take quick naps at his desk whenever he was away on business trips. I never told him 🙂
The last text we wrote to each other was last year and he told me he couldn’t wait to travel and play golf. I know he’s playing lots of golf in Heaven right now. We’re going to miss you so much Enrico!!!
Thank you Grace and James for your condolences they are so sweet sharing your experiences with Enrico. He spoke so fondly about the two of you
Anna and Deana our deepest condolences for the passing of Enrico our thaughts and prayers are with you 🙏
Anna,
Julie and I are sad to hear of Enrico’s passing. We want you to know that we very much cherished the time with you both during our travels with Samsung. Enrico was always a great listener and offered such great advice in business and life.
We are thinking of you during this difficult time and sending our love your way.
The Rose Beyond The Wall
A rose once grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
And as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall.
One day, a beam of light shone through
a crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
then passed beyond to the other side
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted – the rose blooms there-
its beauty even greater now, nurtured by
God’s own loving care.
My deepest sympathy Anna and Deana, my heart goes out to you both. God bless you ……..your cousin Rita and Peter Condarcuri
I was deeply saddened to hear of the new sand my heartfelt condolences to Anna and Deana. I had the privilege of working with Enrico while at Samsung Canada. His kindness, sense of humor and sincere willingness to help has left a lasting impression on me. I am grateful for the time we had together and thank you for sharing him with us.
